The application of series multi-pooling convolutional neural networks for medical image segmentation by Feng Wang, Siwei Huang, Lei Shi, Weiguo Fan

“…The main contents of this article were studied as follows: the principle and operating approach of convolutional neural network on image processing was first introduced, and then 12-layer convolutions were skillfully set up for local pathways based on two-way convolutional neural network architectures; considering the inter-label dependency in pixel areas, the situation of conditional random field was simulated to design the input series connection structure; multi-pooling input series connection model was designed to solve the problem that the input pixel area is limited; finally, the classification accuracy upon experiments reached 83%, which has verified the effectiveness of model to improve.…”
